Briquette presses are used to compress dust, shavings or chip waste
which is created from working with materials such as wood, paper,
metal, foam or plastic. Making briquettes from loose particles
creates a significant volume reduction. This leads to easier
material handling for transport and storage and helps to prevent the
risk of sparks which lead to fires.
The hydraulic briquetting presses apply considerable force to
compress the material into compact briquettes. This process changes
the material properties in a way that creates a product similar to
those of the solid raw material. This is why briquettes are able to
be burned and used as an energy source or can be recycled into new
materials.
The operation of a press is simply. Start by feeding the material
into the hopper of the machine by hand or by connecting the unit
under your dust collection system. Turn the machine on and watch as
the agitator spin to push the material into the open chamber at the
bottom of the unit. An auger then transports the material into the
pre-compression chamber. From there the cylinder is filled and the
material is pressed to produce the desired briquette length. No
glues or adhesives are used in this process and therefore you have a
clean reusable product. |
